Project X Zone Arriving June 25
Namco Bandai has recently revealed that their crossover game with Sega and Capcom, Project X Zone, is slated for release on June 25 in the US. The title was originally announced for the 3DS in Japan and was released there in October last year, but Namco Bandai also committed to localizing the game for the US and Europe. Project X Zone combines over 200 characters from those 3 universes into a st...
Happy April Fools!
Much like last years Google Maps homage to the NES, there are a lot of jokes circulating the internet today. Instead of setting myself up to fall for one of the multitude of pranks out there, I thought I would take the opportunity to remind everyone about the Infendo Forums. If you haven’t visited and/or signed up for a free account yet, I urge you to do so. It is a great place for the rea...
Nintendo Web Framework: the Indie developers are coming
Seemingly out of nowhere during GDC 2013, Nintendo announced the Nintendo Web Framework which is a development environment based on WebKit technologies, supporting application development on the Wii U system using HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. What this potentially means is that Nintendo is lightening up its attitude towards smaller indie developers, currently making great games and applications for...
Nintendo Theme Park Not Impossible
Well it looks like Miyamoto’s not shooting down this rumour, as ABC recently asked Miyamoto if he would consider a physical park instead of the digital park that is Nintendo Land. Though Nintendo is focusing on their own hardware and software development, Miyamoto says that a Nintendo themed park isn’t as far fetched as it seems. ABC: “Nintendo Land” very much teased us, and everyone w...
Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara Revealed for Wii U
Capcom recently revealed Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara at PAX East. This is an HD title that combines two previous arcade beat-’em-ups: Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara. This title offers 4 player online or local co-op games, where players can drop in and out of the game at any time. Online leaderboards will be used as we...
Its official Deus Ex: Human Revolution Directors Cut for Wii U
After yesterdays premature Amazon listing, Square-Enix officially confirmed today that Deux Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut is coming to the Wii U. In addition a Eurogamer interview published today with Deus Ex executive game director Jean-Francois Dugas and game designer Emile Pedneault shed some light on some new features we can expect for the Directors Cut edition. These should addre...
Gameboy Micro: A Fan’s Wish
Sometimes we receive fan mail that deserves a post of its own, and when I saw this submission from Christian Mills, I found that it was worth sharing. Much like him, I laughed at the Gameboy Micro when it hit the shelves. Now, as I build my gaming/console collection, I must admit that I forgot all about the little slice of Nintendo History. Not only has Christian reminded me of the pocket sized ...
Nintendo the app developer
If you were to tell me a few years ago that Nintendo would be making Apps for smart phones, I would have very quickly informed you that you must be mistaken, you see Nintendo only makes software for their own hardware. It’s what they do. However I was wrong. Nintendo currently has two Apps out on the App Store, both published by the Pokémon Company. I don’t think it’s any conscience either ...
Princess Zelda to the Rescue
Just when you thought your dream of playing a game where Princess Zelda was the protagonist was never going to happen, along came YouTube user Kenna W. (Hopefully, as a true fan of the franchise you do not count those CD-i games, in which case you would have realized this dream about 20 years ago…) Kenna modded the original Legend of Zelda so that the player controls Zelda to save Hyrule ...
Pikachu 3DS XL is coming to North America
On the fence 3DS in waiting, rejoice!

The special edition 3DS XL will come packed with a 4 GB SD memory card, and is priced at $199.99. The announcement of a special edition 3DS XL is reassuring news to those who have...
Shigeru Miyamoto is working on 3D Pikmin animation
Shigeru Miyamoto has announced he is working on a series of animated 3D shorts based on the GameCube debuting series; Pikmin. Nintendo gave a taste of what to expect to the media, showing a clip of main protagonist captain Olimar blending Pikmin into a large smoothie, but is then comically revealed to be just (PikPik?) carrots. In an interview about the new project, Miyamoto said “When Olima...
What developer would you like to see take over your favorite Nintendo franchise?
Nintendo has long been very selective over their key franchises such as Mario and Zelda. Only in the last couple of three years has Nintendo actually trusted a company to take charge of their key independent properties. Sure, Grezzo was in charge of porting The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D to the 3DS, and Team Ninja developer Metroid: Other M for the Wii, but will Nintendo ever trust other ...
